14) The equation of the least squares regression line between the dose of medication in mg (x) and the patients' systolic blood pressure (y) is... ŷ = -10x + 170 a) Use the regression line to estimate the systolic blood pressure for a patient taking 4 mg of medication. b) If we want to have a systolic blood pressure of 110, use the regression line to estimate the appropriate dose.

The relationship between a number of beers consumed (x) and blood alcohol content (y) was studied in 16 male college students by using least squares regression. The following regression equation was obtained from this study: ?̂ = -0.0127 + 0.0180x The above equation implies that: each beer consumed increases blood alcohol by 1.27% on average it takes 1.8 beers to increase blood alcohol content by 1% each beer consumed increases blood alcohol by an average of the amount of 1.8% each beer consumed increases blood alcohol by exactly 0.018
As a result of urbanization, the temperatures in Paris have increased. In 1891 the average daily minimum and maximum temperatures were 5.8°C and 15.1°C, respectively. Between 1891 and 1968, these average temperatures rose 0.019°C/yr and 0.011°C/yr, respectively. Assuming the increases were linear, find the year when the difference between the minimum and maximum temperatures was 9C, and determine the corresponding average maximum temperature.
